Description
I am curious if this could be ported to Drupal 6? Also, take advantage of AJAX/AHAH so no page refresh is needed when submitting?

Since I am in need of this module in 6, I will post some patches tonight.
However, I do not need this in the context of OG. So please chip in and test the patches on d6 with og, since I will not be testing any of that.
That being said: how about making a new version that is OG-unaware?
Meaning: rip out all og stuff and make it a module dedicated at providing an alternative for node/add. Possible with a hook to allow other modules such as og_node_add_alternate.module to hook in and modify the node/add to their wishes?
Should I include that in a d6 version? Or should I best just get a rough port out and open new issues with changes?

ignore the above. This module is far too incompatible with my needs and I will therefore for this into an og-unaware module. porting to D6 has no benefit for me without a complete refactoring. I will threfore not present a patch for a D6 version here.

Here's a Drupal 6 version of the module.
To be honest, I haven't tested it with organic groups module enabled, but it should work. However, I did add another block which, instead of displaying the content types in a drop-down, provides a link to the node add page for each. There's also an optional link for the 'content management' page, should the user have the appropriate permissions.
Cheers,
Stella

This works for me so far. Any chance of an official commit?

Stella, I really appreciate your work but I found something wrong and provided a patch.
I fixed only your block (the "list", not the dropdown box):
I think that also the dropdown box need some work, but I don't use it.
I tested it only with url rewriting... but it seems completely wrong.
It tries to send the form to "/node/" when trying to create a new node instead of calling "/node/story/add?gid[]="
I think it's senseless... (or I don't know that it's just another way of creating a node in a group... but it's not working for me at all... )
